Extract

In this paper a series of twenty-six cases of schizophrenia are analysed. This study has been confined very largely to a consideration of their feelings of unreality, hallucinations and disorders of imagery, as it was found that the particular method used was most applicable to these features of the total symptomatology. Such a selection from the whole range of schizophrenic activity might appear arbitrary since there is, of course, an essential unity in all psychic happenings, as, amongst others, Mignard (1), Berze (2) and Kronfeld (3) have pointed out. Nevertheless, Mignard himself says that affect, will, knowledge and memory are involved in every single psychic act. C. Schneider (4) also has demonstrated that schizophrenic characteristics show the same easily recognizable form in all their deviations from the normal psyche.
